Dorsal and ventral streams: a framework for understanding aspects of the functional anatomy of language. (2004, methodology): “Although some authors have emphasized the role of the temporal pole in producing semantic deficits in SD (Mummery et al., 2000), we argue that it is the posterior temporal involvement which is the primary contributor to the symptom complex in this syndrome.”
Dynamics of Gray Matter Loss in Alzheimer's Disease (2003, background): “…in many previous studies to compare the spatial distribution of gray matter across subjects (Wright et al., 1995; Bullmore et al., 1999; Sowell et al., 1999; Ashburner and Friston, 2000; Mummery et al., 2000; Rombouts et al., 2000; Baron et al., 2001; Good et al., 2001; Thompson et al., 2001a,b).”
The Neurobiology of Semantic Memory (2011, neutral): “A second body of evidence comes from patients with damage in the inferior and lateral temporal lobe, particularly patients with semantic dementia, a syndrome characterized by progressive temporal lobe atrophy and multimodal loss of semantic memory [40,41].”
Semantic impairment in stroke aphasia versus semantic dementia: a case-series comparison. (2006, background): “SD patients have highly circumscribed bilateral atrophy and hypometabolism of the inferior and lateral aspects of the anterior temporal lobes and the extent of this atrophy correlates with the severity of the semantic impairment (Mummery et al., 2000; Nestor et al., 2006).”
Classification of primary progressive aphasia and its variants (2011, background): “”(47) Anatomically, the semantic variant has been associated with atrophy in the ventral and lateral portions of the anterior temporal lobes bilaterally, although damage is usually greater on the left.(11,14,34,48,49) Cases will be defined as semantic variant PPA with definite pathology when patient”
The neural mechanisms of speech comprehension: fMRI studies of semantic ambiguity. (2005, background): “…deficits in stroke patients (Bates et al., 2003) and not the more anterior temporal regions that have been activated in other imaging studies of sentence comprehension (Scott et al., 2000; Davis and Johnsrude, 2003) or that appear to be associated with semantic dementia (Mummery et al., 2000).”
Structure and deterioration of semantic memory: a neuropsychological and computational investigation. (2004, background): “The cognitive impairments witnessed in semantic dementia arise from progressive focal atrophy of the anterior and inferolateral aspects of the temporal cortex bilaterally (Lambon Ralph, McClelland, Patterson, Galton, & Hodges, 2001; Mummery et al., 2000).”
Semantic Processing in the Anterior Temporal Lobes: A Meta-analysis of the Functional Neuroimaging Literature (2010, background): “However, SD atrophy usually encompasses additional areas that are more posterior than y = 0 (Nestor et al., 2006; Davies et al., 2004; Gorno-Tempini et al., 2004; Galton et al., 2001; Mummery et al., 2000).”
Cerebral atrophy in Parkinson's disease with and without dementia: a comparison with Alzheimer's disease, dementia with Lewy bodies and controls. (2004, background): “However, Mummery et al. (2000) reported temporal pole, inferolateral temporal lobe and ventromedial frontal atrophy but failed to detect hippocampal atrophy in semantic dementia.”
The neuroanatomical and functional organization of speech perception. (2003, background): “This disorder shows a characteristic neural profile of grey matter loss in the left anterior temporal lobe [46, 47 ], with sparing of white matter tracts.”
Clinical, genetic and pathological heterogeneity of frontotemporal dementia: a review (2010, background): “anterior and inferior temporal lobes,(111-112) usually affecting the left more than the right hemisphere.”
Cerebral Asymmetry and the Effects of Sex and Handedness on Brain Structure: A Voxel-Based Morphometric Analysis of 465 Normal Adult Human Brains (2001, methodology): “This technique has been cross-validated with region of interest measurements and functional data in a number of studies (Abell et al., 1999; Krams et al., 1999b; Maguire et al., 2000; Mummery et al., 2000; Richardson et al., 1997; Sowell et al., 2000, 1999; Vargha-Khadem et al., 1998; Woermann et al”
Where do you know what you know? The representation of semantic knowledge in the human brain (2007, background): “indicates relative preservation of the posterior temporal lobe in S”
Dissecting the uncinate fasciculus: disorders, controversies and a hypothesis. (2013, background): “Behavioural variant FTD is characterized by disruptions in affiliative social behaviour and social disinhibition (Mummery et al., 2000; Hodges, 2001), both of which can be conceptualized as disturbances in social reward processing and social learning.”
